Example-Transpiration Cooling PDF

This document describes a system of two concentric porous spherical shells with dry air flowing radially outward. It develops an expression for the rate of heat removal from the inner sphere as a function of the mass flow rate out of the system. The analysis applies assumptions of steady laminar flow and constant properties to develop equations for continuity, momentum, and energy. These are solved to obtain the velocity, pressure, and temperature profiles, leading to an expression for the heat removal rate involving the temperature difference, thermal conductivity, radii, and mass flow rate.

Example: Transpiration Cooling

Example 11.4-4 in BSL: Transpiration Cooling

A system with two concentric porous spherical shells of radii  R


and R is shown in Figure. The inner surface of the outer shell is at
temperature T1, and the outer surface of inner shell is at lower
temperature T. Dry air at T is blown outward radially from the
inner shell into the intervening space and then through the outer
shell.

Develop an expression for the required rate of heat removal from


the inner sphere as function of the mass rate of flow out of the gas.
Assume steady laminar flow and low gas velocity. 2
Example (contd.)
Assumptions:
1. Steady-state
2. Newtonian fluid with constant viscosity
3. Laminar flow, fully developed (low u)
4. Properties of air are constant
5. Incompressible fluid ( = constant)
6. 1-D in the r direction:
ur ≠ 0, u = 0 and u = 0
Postulation: modified pressure
u   r ur  r  , T=T  r  , P  P  r 
Analysis:
• Eqn. of continuity will be solved together to g get the T profile
• Eqn. of energy
• Eqn. of motion will be solved to get the pressure profile
